Sugözü, Banu | Sugözü, İlker
In this study, the size effect of zircon (ZrSiO4) on the tribological characteristics of polymer matrix friction composites were investigated. Hence, four friction composites containing micro and nano-sized zircon particles (5 and 10 wt%) were developed and produced using powder metallurgy method. Their wear and friction characteristics were examined using a friction-wear test device. The weight loss and specific wear rate were measured and compared with that obtained for microsized zircon particles. The surfaces of samples were analyzed using a scanning electron microscope, and less wear was observed in the samples containing nano-sized zircon particles. The results revealed that the size of abrasive particles plays a key role in enhancing the friction coefficient and friction stability.

Sugözü, Banu | Sugözü, İlker
Brake liningsrise to high temperatures as a result of friction. The high temperature caused by friction causes brake weakening and extends the stopping distance of the vehicle as an undesirable situation. In this study, high temperature resistant boron minerals Colemanite, Ulexite, Borax and Boric Acid were used in brake lining content. Colemanite, Ulexite, Borax and Boric Acid have been added to the brake lining content at rates of 1%, 3%, 5% and 7% by mass. Friction and wear performances of the produced brake liningswere determined with a pin-on-disc tester. As the Bo mineral content increased, the friction performance of the brake lining increased positively. Depending on the increase in boron mineral, hardness and density values also increased. It has been determined that it is appropriate to use boron mineral in order to slow down the rate of increase of high temperature ratios caused by friction in brake linings.

Investigation of The Effect of Solid Lubricant Particle Sizes on Friction and Wear Properties in Friction Composites: An Experimental Case Study with Graphite
Sugözü, İlker | Sugözü, Banu
Friction composites consist of many materials with various properties. Solid lubricant is one of these materials. The task of the solid lubricant in the compo-site is to protect the counter surfaces against wear and to reduce noise and vibra-tion. Typical solid lubricants used in the friction composite are graphite, antimo-ny trisulfide, molybdenum disulfide, copper sulfide, etc. The selection suitable solid lubricants for better braking performance is an important issue, as solid lubricants may decompose at high temperatures, leading to undesirable results. The particle size of the solid lubricant used is at least as important as itself. In this study, the effect of micro and nanoparticle-sized graphite on friction and wear behavior of friction composites was investigated experimentally. Two brake lining were prepared containing 10 wt.% nanographite and micrographite, were produced by powder metallurgy technique. The brake lining samples have been tested under Friction Assessment and Screening Test (FAST). The frictional and physical properties of the produced samples were determined by appropriate tests. According to the test results obtained, micro and nanoparticle size were compared in many respects and the most ideal size was determined for graphite.

Sugözü, İlker | Sugözü, Banu
Borax which is an important boron compound, a mineral, and a salt of boric acid, is used as a fire retardant and insulating material. The most important reac-tion in automobile brake systems is heat generation from friction. The heat gen-erated at the interface of disc and lining may cause deformation of the materials forming the lining. Therefore, phenomena such as lining wear and brake fade may be occurred. The aim of this study is to reveal the positive effects of borax additive on lining and experimentally examine the effect of grain size of borax on tribological properties. Lining is produced by mixing more than one powder materials and pressing cold and hot. The size and homogeneous mixture of pow-der materials affect the braking performance. In this study, the effect of using nano and micro sized borax with the same content on the lining performance was investigated. The produced linings were tested on pin-on disc tester. Wear, hard-ness and density tests were performed. The change in the friction coefficient was observed due to the temperature increase. The friction coefficient of the nano-containing lining showed a more stable result depending on the temperature.

Sugözü, Banu | Sugözü, İlker
Production of composite brake linings; mixing, cold and hot pressing (molding) and heat treatment steps. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of hot-pressing pressure on friction performance in the production of composite brake linings. As the pressure applied during the hot-pressing step increases, the density of the product increases as the gap between the materials forming the product decreases. Therefore, the pressing pressure, which is one of the production parameters, is very important for the friction performance of composite brake lining materials. In this study, composite brake lining samples having the same content were produced by applying three different hot-pressing pressures such as 8000, 13000, 18000 kPa and friction performances were examined. The friction coefficients of the samples with 13000 and 18000 kPa pressing pressure were low. The most suitable pressing pressure was determined as 8000 kPa.

Sugözü, Banu | Sugözü, İlker
In this study, the physical and magnetic properties of Bi1.8Sr2Ca1.1Cu2.1Oy superconductors kept in different dwell times (1, 6, and 12 h) at a constant pelletization pressure of 6 GPa in the pressing step as prepared by standard solid-state reaction method are reported. The X-ray diffraction data shows that all samples have a tetragonal crystal structure with predominant Bi-2212. SEM micrographs for all samples predominately show plate-like grain structure, indicating the presence of Bi-2212 phase. Both Tc (onset) and Tc (offset) significantly increase with increasing dwell time. M–H measurements were performed at T = 10 and 25 K, respectively. In addition, Jc values of the samples were calculated from their magnetic hysteresis loops using the Bean’s model. It has been found that Jc in the samples including long dwell times under the pelletization pressure of 6 GPa improves.
